We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Derik Fein a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Derik, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
Title – Derik Fein’s ‘Therapy’ Album Review:
Article –
Once again, Derik Fein transforms heartbreak into a healing, graceful, and incredibly moving album. However, the complexity of his emotions and the nuanced production make this his most ambitious work to date. Fein himself referred to “Therapy” as his most personal album. Opening up about his childhood in “Road to Nowhere”, Fein shares, “What started as a blind studio session turned into a revelation about my unresolved childhood traumas. A therapy session I didn’t know I needed.” As he confides in the album’s centerpiece, “Gaslight”, the lyric “You always made me feel like I wasn’t worthy of your love” cuts deep, offering insights into his marriage. The final single from the album, “Running”, leaves listeners questioning the purpose of their entire existence. Derik wrote the song after a suicide attempt, retreating to an Airbnb in the middle of the desert with nothing but his guitar. It delves into feelings of isolation and self-sabotage, as Derik grapples with fitting into society and resisting the mold of complacency.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
